[QUOTE="Ghostman, post: 381724, member: 10524"] I've got one of each caliber you're considering. A Savage in 204, a CZ in 22-250 and a Sako in 243. The 204 is great for woodchucks, fox etc but is iffy on Coyotes with most bullets except Bergers. It's also iffy in windy conditions with light bullets. In my experience 204s can be a bit finicky about bullets and powder and take a bit of experimenting and tuning to shoot as well as other calibers. The good thing about the 204 is the low recoil and noise and it's cheap to reload. I think the 22-250 is a better predator caliber than the 204. It anchors Coyotes better and bucks the wind better but has much more noise than the 204. My 243 beats both in accuracy and killing power and if I had to choose only caliber for all varmint/predator hunting it would be the 243 using 70 Nosler or Sierra bullets. [/QUOTE]
